Saturday Night VIII
God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God says, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
And God says, “Out on Highway 61.”
Bob Dylan, “Highway 61 Revisited,” 1965
Saturday Night VII
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
For the wicked carry us away captivity
Require from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Over I
Rivers of Babylon by The Melodians
